its not over people, its a hard fact that something must be done to end the bloodshed and violence, and putins methods are not really working

Timeline of Key Events in Chechnya, 1830–2003

by David Johnson and Borgna Brunner

1830s

Czar Nicholas I invades Caucuses, meets fierce resistance.

1859

Russia conquers, incorporates Caucuses.

1917

Russian Revolution, Dagestan (including Chechnya) declares its independence.

1923

Bolshevik troops occupy Dagestan, divide region, creating Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.

1944

Stalin deports thousands of Chechens to Siberia and Kazakhstan, on suspicion of collaborating with Germany.

1957

Chechen-Ingush republic reestablished. Chechens return home.

1991

Soviet Union collapses, 14 regions become independent nations. Dzhokhar Dudayev elected president of Chechnya. Dudayev declares Chechnya independent. Russian President Boris Yeltsin refuses to recognize Chechen independence, sends troops. Confronted by armed Chechens, troops withdraw.

1994

Chechnya continues to assert its independence. Paramilitary bands accused of widespread kidnapping for ransom. Russia invades Chechnya; bloody war ensues.

1995

10,000 Russian troops occupy Grozny. Dudayev killed by Russian rocket. Total Russian force numbers 45,000. Chechens takes hostages.

1996

Chechens launch major counteroffensive, 5,000 troops invade Grozny. Unwilling to use maximum force and destroy Grozny to defeat rebels, Russians agree to ceasefire. Yeltsin orders troops withdrawn from Chechnya. Russian military humiliated. 70,000 casualties on all sides.

1997

Chechnya won't accept Moscow's authority. Aslan Maskhadov elected Chechen president. Name of capital changed from the Russian Grozny, to the Chechen Djohar. Lawlessness in Chechnya continues.

1999

Terrorist bombs explode in Moscow and other Russian cities. Russian authorities blame Chechen paramilitary commanders. Chechen insurgents enter neighboring Russian territory of Dagestan to help Islamic fundamentalists seeking to create separate nation.

Russian troops recapture breakaway areas of Dagestan. Yeltsin sends nearly 100,000 Russian troops into Chechnya. Russians occupy much of Chechnya, pulverize Grozny, driving rebels into hills. 250,000 refugees.

2000

Despite Russian claims of imminent victory, war continues. Russians are unable to defeat rebels in mountainous areas. United Nations officials call for investigations of alleged human rights abuses by Russian troops and by Chechen rebels. New Russian President Vladimir Putin agrees to human rights investigation, continues war.

2001

Russian president Putin appoints Stanislav Ilyasov as Chechen prime minister.

2002

On Oct. 23, Chechen rebels seized a crowded Moscow theater and detained 763 people, including 3 Americans. Armed and wired with explosives, the rebels demanded that Russian government end the war in Chechnya. Government forces stormed the theater the next day, after releasing a gas into the theater, which killed not only all the rebels but more than 100 hostages.

2003

In March Chechens voted in a referendum that approved a new regional constitution making Chechnya a separatist republic within Russia. Agreeing to the constitution meant abandoning claims for complete independence. While Moscow has presented the referendum as a way of bringing peace to the war-ravaged region, it is unclear how much power Russia would actually grant the separatist republic. A spate of Chechen suicide bombings followed throughout the year.

In September elections, Akhmad Kadyrov, the de facto Chechen president installed three years earlier by Russia, officially becomes president. Human rights groups as well as several nations questioned the fairness of the elections.

During 2003, there were 11 bomb attacks against Russia believed to have been orchestrated by Chechen rebels.

You say you want a revolution

by well ya know Tuesday, Feb. 17, 2004 at 6:40 PM

we all wanna change the world.

So people- you finally realized. Violent uprising is the status quo of Idiots.

Normal people get trampled when all they want to do is live.

Gun makers are the only ones in luxury.

Glastnost is just another word for putting a Versace suit on a dictator.

American Capitalism, Communism, Anarchism, and every other ism is just an ism that never works.

I can tell you something that did work though.

The civil rights movement. Keep Marching.

You forgot the best part.

You failed to mention the masterstroke of Russian anti-terrorist forces which was the encasing of the neutralized koranimal terrorists in pigskin after their filthy carcasses were removed from the theatre.

Simply Brilliant!

i read that somewhere that some general would bury the bodies of dead "mujahideen" with pigs after he smeared them with pig blood and they claimed that it helped stop the mujahideen cause they were afraid if they died with pigs they would go to hell b.s

if russia signed the ottowa mine ban treaty why is it still laying landmines in chechnya?

Would it still be "brilliant" if say, Hamas, began encasing dead "Torah terrorists" in pigskin? The Chechan struggle is against Russian imperialism and occupation, but as always, "fresca" sides with the fascists.

Being called a fascist by a moronic racist like you can only be a good thing.

Thanks.

Not that you evidently have any idea what the word means.

And by the way, The chechnyan situation is just another example of the conflict between the civilized world and the savagery of fundamentalist Islam.

Oh. I forgot. Another brilliant tactic the Russians employed was as follows. After gassing the theatre they went in to find the terrorists strapped with explosives tied to chairs passed out. These were all women by the way. Instead of taking any chances and allowing these animals to regain conciousness, they all got one bullet right in the back of the head while they were in their fentanyl stupor.

Bravo!
